Windows 8: Start8 Is Nearly Ready to Roll

The release date for Windows 8 is lest than a month away and a lot of the brouhaha seems to have settled down since there is nothing to do now but wait. Reports from those privileged enough to have seen the version that was released to manufacturing indicate that things are pretty much as they were in the consumer preview released earlier this year. If those reports are indeed correct, it means that Microsoft failed to come to its senses and did not include the option for a Start Menu to be used by those of us who have PC’s or Laptops.
